Opinions on 12's

[Beerdrnkr 5,000+ posts]

I'm looking to buy 2 or 3 12's. I want to run them ported off of about 2000wrms-3000wrms. I'm looking for opinions on subs that sound really good but can handle around 600wrms and get decently loud in 1.25 - 1.75c/ft ported and tuned low (around 32-34hz). This is going to be a budget setup so I'm looking to spend only around $140ea. Please let me know of any suggestions (older subs or new) you may have or any experiences with what I might be looking for. Thanks

You should be looking at 10s for that amount of space in my opinion

yea you'll want to buy used...and 10s not 12s.....unless you want to put 300 watts to each...

Just to name a few.... FI ssd, RE se, SSA dcon or an AQ sdc2.5 if tuned a little higher.

Yeah, I was thinking that but I was hoping to get as much cone area as possible. I think I have a good 6cubes available but maybe 2 - 12's or 3 10's would be the best bet?

6 cubes is pushing it...3 10's may fit...but u have to consider the amp also...

I have an amp rack for the amps so that won't take up much room at all.

Properly designed enclosure > cone area
